Roses in Velvet hues
Ellie Hoovs' Wonderland poetry prompt.
Wonderland exists where hearts collide and moonlight waltzes with the tide.
Where a rabbit scurries, silver-laced, through corridors of time misplaced.
The Cheshire moon hums lullabies, soft riddles spun in velvet skies.
A Mad Hatter lifts his cup so high---A toast to dreams that never die!
Roses blush in hues untold, their petals kissed by tales...oh...so old.
The Queen commands, the cards take flight, love and madness twirl in grim delight.
....
Down the rabbit hole---Two souls...One sweet, maddening descent, into love’s wild and Wonderland embrace.
A sigh, a smile, a whispered call, where hearts may lose themselves, giving all and everything.

A quirky wistful beautiful wonder-filled poetry of Alice's wonderland.
Through the looking glass and into the mist, a world unfolds, logic twists.
A Cheshire grins in the moonlight, a rabbit frets...dreams they are a'ticking.
Teacups spin in endless flight, March winds whisper riddles. Beware...be a'fright.
A Queen of Hearts with thorn-kissed grace, rules a court of time misplaced.
....
Oh, Wonderland, a wistful sigh, where nonsense laughs and rules defy.
A tumble down, a curious call---Who’s to say what’s real at all?
A dash more madness, or a sip of sense woven in
A story whimsical and a tad romantic
Forevermore we dance...further and further into the whimsy.

The lovely prompt.
